Sure. When was the last time you had to store gasoline in your residence though? Do you have to manage fuel storage on your person to power devices? Does Amazon have to send you a box with petrol in it when you order a laptop? There is infrastructure around petrol and designated places to contain it and dispense it. We don't have that yet with battery power. Most people just ignore the X with the trash can on the device and dump batteries in the garbage. I don't know about you, but people where I live have to go out of their way to find a place to drop off their old batteries responsibly, and I think I am the only person I know who does.
